Know Where to Go for Food and Drinks in Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan, and Penida
Lembongan, the most developed of the islands, has the greatest array of dining and drinking options. You’ll find sleek cocktail bars overlooking the bay, international-standard restaurants and beach clubs, and local eats aplenty.
Penida and Ceningan are slightly quieter, though you’ll still find the odd clifftop cocktail bar and western eatery.
No matter where you go, you’ll see fresh seafood on the menu. Grilled local fish, served with rice and sambal (chopped chilli condiment) is a must try. It’s cheap and delicious!

Things to Do in Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan, and Penida
Unsurprisingly, a lot of the activity on these islands centres around the ocean. Swimming, surfing, snorkelling, and diving are all popular pursuits here.
Dream Beach on Lembongan is just one of many beauty spots, with a powdery soft sand, a tropical outlook, and beach bars serving cold beers. Also on Lembongan is Devil’s Tears, a rocky cove and sunset spot where the ocean smashes dramatically against the cliff.
The larger island of Nusa Penida is an adventure lover’s paradise. It’s renowned for its rugged coastal scenery and the viewpoint at Kelinking is the perfect case in point. With its finger-like rock formations and winding track down to the beach, the spot has fast become an Insta sensation.
Wild but beautiful Tembeling Beach is also worth a visit. The trek to get there — through lush tropical jungle and via natural pools carved into the rocks — is half the fun!
Finally, divers should be sure to check out Manta Point. It’s one of the most famous dive sites in the area, and the best place to swim with schools of majestic manta rays.
